I like this subject as well. Here is Civil War era 6th Corps ambulance.

Great photos guys! Keep 'em coming! Erwin, I think that photo showing the rows of ambulances was taken in my hometwon of Fort Wayne, Indiana. It reminds me of one that I saw taken at a depot there.

 

Mike_L, thanks for the vehicle ID!

 

Gregory, that schwimmwagen ambulance is awesome! Do you have the original to that?

 

Here is another 1970's era ambulance. We used these for transport when I was in JrROTC, I believe this was taken at Fort Knox, KY. Note the WWII era barracks in the background.

Dodge. And of course there is a tank in the back ground. ;)

Interesting how they covered the red cross on the vehicle. Didn't they know that the Geneva Convention protected them from being shot? :rolleyes:

Two US Navy WWII era ambulances althought not necessarily in "Vehicle" category, rather "Air Vehicle". ;)

They are very interested because officially neither Boeing Stearman Kaydet nor Piper NE-1 Grasshopper were manufactired in casevac variants. USN re-built them in its own workshops and I would not be so sure if they were certified according to aviation law but wartime is not good time for various law aspects ;)
